I\'m trying to have a div on top of an image and inside that div to have a border or another div that is transparent so you can see the image below.
You can use multiple background using linear-gradient
to create the transparent part without the need of an extra element:
.image {
background-image: url(https://picsum.photos/id/10/2500/1667);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 400px;
}
.floater {
width: 400px;
background:
linear-gradient(blue,blue) 0 0/100% 50px no-repeat,
linear-gradient(blue,blue) 0 100%/100% 50px no-repeat,
linear-gradient(blue,blue) 0 0/50px 100% no-repeat,
linear-gradient(blue,blue) 100% 0/50px 100% no-repeat;
}
.title,
.description {
padding: 20px
}
<div class="image">
<div class="floater">
<div class="title">
My Title
</div>
<div class="description">
Short Description
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is a more ticky idea using clip-path
:
.image {
background-image: url(https://picsum.photos/id/10/2500/1667);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 400px;
}
.floater {
width: 400px;
-webkit-clip-path: polygon(0% 0%, 0% 100%, 20% 100%, 20% 29%, 75% 29%, 75% 69%, 20% 69%, 20% 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 0%);
clip-path: polygon(0% 0%, 0% 100%, 20% 100%, 20% 29%, 75% 29%, 75% 69%, 20% 69%, 20% 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 0%);
background:blue;
}
.title,
.description {
padding: 20px
}
<div class="image">
<div class="floater">
<div class="title">
My Title
</div>
<div class="description">
Short Description
</div>
</div>
</div>
Another one using inset box-shadow:
.image {
background-image: url(https://picsum.photos/id/10/2500/1667);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 400px;
}
.floater {
width: 400px;
box-shadow:0 0 0 50px blue inset;
}
.title,
.description {
padding: 20px
}
<div class="image">
<div class="floater">
<div class="title">
My Title
</div>
<div class="description">
Short Description
</div>
</div>
</div>
You can also consider pseudo-element with borders:
.image {
background-image: url(https://picsum.photos/id/10/2500/1667);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 400px;
}
.floater {
position:relative;
width: 400px;
z-index:0;
}
.floater:before {
content:"";
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
right:0;
bottom:0;
border-width:50px 20px 50px 20px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:blue;
z-index:-1;
}
.title,
.description {
padding: 20px
}
<div class="image">
<div class="floater">
<div class="title">
My Title
</div>
<div class="description">
Short Description
</div>
</div>
</div>
Create the blue background as a shadow of the transparent-through element.
Set overflow hidden on the floater to keep it from expanding outwards
.image {
background-image: url(https://picsum.photos/id/10/2500/1667);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 400px;
}
.floater {
margin-top: 20px;
width: 400px;
height: 150px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.title,
.description {
padding: 10px
}
.transparent-through {
height: 60px;
width: 90%;
margin: auto;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 100px blue;
}
<div class="image">
<div class="floater">
<div class="title">
My Title
</div>
<div class="transparent-through"></div>
<div class="description">
Short Description
</div>
</div>
</div>
A trik could be to draw the background-color from a shadow from your border element.(see css comments)
.image {
background-image: url(https://picsum.photos/id/10/2500/1667);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 400px;
}
.floater {
width: 400px;
height: 100px;
overflow: hidden; /*keep children shadow inside*/
margin: auto
}
.title,
.description {
padding: 10px;
position: relative; /* on top of sibblings shadows*/
}
.transparent-through {
border-bottom: 4px solid transparent;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 100px blue; /* tune color and area to fill unblured. here set to blue and 100px around */
width: 90%;
margin: auto;
}
<div class="image">
<div class="floater">
<div class="title">
My Title
</div>
<div class="transparent-through"></div>
<div class="description">
Short Description
</div>
</div>
</div>
make the parent div position:relative and z-index:0 and make the child div position:absolute and z-index:10
this is an example follow this example you can do it .
.check
{
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:50%:
z-index:0;
}
.check img
{
width:100%;
height:50%;
}
.form-box
{
position: absolute;
top:0;
right:0;
background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.8);
z-index:10;
height:100%;
padding-top:40px;
width:50%;
}
<html>
<div class="check">
